Emergency Operations Center A. Purpose The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) serves as a centralized management center for emergency operations. The EOC is generally activated by the Office of Emergency Management or Univeristy Police and staffed during all level 2 or 3 emergencies. The EOC is the primary point of contact for the Incident Commander to provide situational updates and the unified voice to relay information to the Emergency Management Group (EMG) and, if warranted, University personnel. The EOC also serves as the supervisory authority for all emergency management principles during the response to and recovery from an emergency. The EOC provides situational updates and communications to the President and Provost – the head of the EMG and alerts to the campus population as needed. B. Scope When a major emergency or disaster occurs, or is imminent, the Police Department and/or Office of Emergency Management will be responsible for setting up and staffing an appropriate Emergency Operations Center. If possible, regular campus security services will remain in full operation during the duration of the emergency. C. Location Primary: One Park Place, 2nd Floor, Police Department (Conference Room) Alternate: Alumni Hall, 3rd Floor, Conference Room (315) Off campus: Alpharetta Center, 3705 Brookside Parkway, Alpharetta, GA 30022 If the emergency does not include the Police Department (One Park Place) Conference Room and, if the building still has utilities, the Emergency Operations Center will be established there. If the emergency involves a large part of the campus, the Emergency Operations Center may be set up in the Conference Room (315) of Alumni Hall. If this site is unavailable, and the Police Department Conference Room is unavailable, the Director of Emergency Management or designee will select a contingent location. At least one uniformed officer will staff the post at all times until the emergency ends. If needed, a staging area for outside and local agency assistance shall be established by the Univeristy Police Department. The University also has the capability to conduct Emergency Operations Center tasks in a ‘virtual capacity' through wireless communications and web-based resources. If needed, a conference room with facilities for emergency teams or media crews designed to accommodate multiple telephone and electrical outlets will be made available at an approved location. D. Field Emergency Command Post If the emergency involves only one building or a small part of the campus (level 1 emergency), a University Police vehicle may be positioned as near the emergency scene as is reasonably possible and establish a Field Emergency Command Post. The senior Police Officer on shift will act as the Incident Commander until relieved by a higher authority or agency.
